Abstract
ICU is an essential location for critically ill patients to receive comprehensive diagnosis and treatment. However, the high intensity of ICU clinical work, the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment, and the poor humanistic environment require us to accelerate the pace of ICU reform. Therefore, the use of advanced technology to create an intelligent ICU department is imperative. The modern ICU is rich in electronic data and can collect a large amount of patient data during routine care, making it an ideal place to deploy intelligent digital platforms. The vast amounts of data generated by monitoring systems and electronic medical records provide fertile ground for the development of more accurate predictive models, better Clinical Decision Support System and more personalized diagnosis and treatment. At the same time, a well-designed and well-arranged ICU department will greatly enhance the patient′s sense of occupancy, as well as increase the professional pride and sense of belonging. Therefore, the establishment of an intelligent ICU department is the only way for ICU to enter the fast lane of development, which will also have a profound impact on the development of ICU.
